Paul Allred, Community Development Director, reported that Mr.
Holloway and Mr. Johnson wish to build a senior apartment complex on the corner
of Chase Lane and the Frontage Road. He explained that this parcel was previously
approved for a conditional use permit for a senior assisted living project.
He stated that assisted living centers have been overbuilt in this area and
are not an option for HUD funding at this time. Therefore, the applicants wish
to discuss with the Planning Commission some different development options,
in order to allow for such a use on this site. Mr. Allred explained that currently
the General Plan does not allow for anything but single-family homes in this
area and it would appear that the HHSF (Health and Human Service Facility) Zone
would not allow this use either. He offered the Planning Commission some different
options which could allow for this use, these included: amending the General
Plan, amending the HHSF Zone to include this type of use, or simply rezone the
land to R-3 which would allow for such a use. Mr. Allred explained that a senior
apartment project would likely need to be a deed restricted use, which would
allow the City to maintain some control.

Doyle Johnson, 3622 South 800 West, Bountiful, stated
that they are trying to obtain some tax exempt bonding from HUD for this project,
but that this, too, has proved to be difficult since assisted living is so overbuilt
and facilities are losing money. He explained these will not be upscale buildings,
but rather low income housing and without the funding from HUD they will not
move forward with the project. He stated that HUD requires all senior housing
finances to be audited by them for the first five years and since the State
regulates what percentage of the population can be elderly (55 +), this project
would only be allowed to accommodate seniors; therefore, a deed restriction
may not be necessary. Mr. Johnson stated that they would be working with Hospice
Care and other services which could come to the facility if requested, but would
not be provided on a regular basis.

Todd Holloway, 795 South 400 East, explained to the Planning
Commission that this would be a U-shaped multi-level apartment complex with
a center courtyard. He stated all units would be one floor and approximately
750 square feet. He stated that he is hoping to build between 80 and 100 units,
but is looking for direction from the Planning Commission in this regard. He
stated that there would be on-site management and that he intends to maintain
ownership of the entire project.

Overall, Commission members were in favor of this project and
feel there is a need for this type of use in the city. They stated that they
would be willing to look at a sketch plan that shows parking, landscaping, design
standards, and density. They further stated they would like the buildings to
be no more than two level and the entire project should not exceed 80 units.
They stated that they would be willing to work with the applicants and staff
on some zoning changes, but could not guarantee approval.

DISCUSSION - Rick Bangerter’s proposal for Commercial Condominiums.

Paul Allred, Community Development Director, reported that Rick
Bangerter has approached the City about the possibility of selling units within
the commercial project he has built. Currently, the City does not have a way
of doing this. Mr. Allred explained that several surrounding cities do allow
for buildings to be parceled or condominiumized. Staff is not overly concerned
that this might be allowed. The only major concern staff foresees is appropriate
access to each unit and the proper maintenance of common facilities.

The Planning Commission, as a whole, stated they are in favor
of commercial condominiums and directed staff to go ahead with the process of
developing an ordinance for such.

Paul Allred, Community Development Director, went through the
changes made to the Landscape Ordinance with the Planning Commission, especially
those suggested by Brian Hulse. Mr. Allred made note of some additional minor
changes that the Planning Commission suggested. Overall, the Planning Commission
was pleased with the draft. They decided to consider Councilman Gold’s draft
and come back at a later date to review a revised ordinance then.
